I find it hard placing text where you want to and it's tricky to get images to pop up over the video. If you find a program that works better and is free I would love to give it a shot. Shelby- I think this way to present problems is fantastic! I would have loved some real life, practical problems when I was in school, but I wasn't lucky enough to have any. I'm hoping to incorporate them as much as possible when I begin teaching! Also, an update: All three of my mentorships are planning on using this video for their classes, not just the one class I had intended.

I think using videos like that is a great way to get kids interested in math and solving those kinds of problems. Kids are always asking "how am I ever going to use this?" A perfect example of how to use it, and it looked great! Good Job:)! I thought that was really neat!

Windows Movie Maker is really limited but I guess it's all about importing. (I'll probably end up trying that out sometime thanks man). Haha yeah there might be one or two who pick up on it...what grade is your class? Ahh Photo Story…good idea. Windows Movie Maker is really limited but I guess it’s all about importing.
